Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue aims to present cutting-edge methods and instrumentation related to the novel research area of plasmonic-based biosensing technologies and related nanosystems, as well as their applications in biology and medicine. The demand for attainable and affordable healthcare for infectious and chronic diseases has significantly increased in this century. Traditional approaches are expanding to include point-of-care (POC) diagnostics, bedside testing, and community-based approaches responding to these challenges. Advanced plasmonic-based diagnostics features real-time, non-invasive, and label-free characteristics, which is unique. These innovative solutions have been accelerated by recent advances in mobile technologies, nanofabrication technology, imaging systems, and microfluidic technologies.

Both review articles and research articles related to plasmonic-based biosensing technologies are welcome.

Abstract
A precise understanding of the self-assembly kinetics of small molecules on nanoparticles (NPs) can give greater control over the size and architecture of the functionalized NPs. Herein, a single-nanoparticle electrochemical collision (SNEC)-based method was developed to monitor the self-assembly processes of 6-mercapto-1-hexanol (6-MCH) [...] Read more.
A precise understanding of the self-assembly kinetics of small molecules on nanoparticles (NPs) can give greater control over the size and architecture of the functionalized NPs. Herein, a single-nanoparticle electrochemical collision (SNEC)-based method was developed to monitor the self-assembly processes of 6-mercapto-1-hexanol (6-MCH) and 1-hexanethiol (MCH) on Au NPs at the single-particle level, and to investigate the self-assembly kinetics exactly. Results showed that the self-assembly processes of both consisted of rapid adsorption and slow recombination. However, the adsorption rate of MCH was significantly lower than that of 6-MCH due to the poorer polarity. Also noteworthy is that the rapid adsorption of 6-MCH on Au NPs conformed to the Langmuir model of diffusion control. Hence, the proposed SNEC-based method could serve as a complementary method to research the self-assembly mechanism of functionalized NPs. Full article

In this work, a new surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensor based on sulphur-doped titanium dioxide (S-TiO2) nanostructures and molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) was presented for thiram (THI) determination in milk samples. Firstly, the S-TiO2 nanomaterial with a high product yield was prepared by using a facile sol-gel hydrolysis technique with a high product yield. After that, UV polymerization was carried out for the preparation of the THI-imprinted SPR chip based on S-TiO2 using a mixture including ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EGDMA) as the cross-linker, N,N′-azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN) as the initiator, and methacryloylamidoglutamicacid (MAGA) as the monomer. The reliability of the sensor preparation procedure has been successfully proven by characterization studies of the prepared nanomaterials and SPR chip surfaces through spectroscopic, microscopic, and electrochemical methods. As a result, the prepared SPR sensor showed linearity in the range of 1.0 × 10−9–1.0 × 10−7 M with a detection limit (LOD) of 3.3 × 10−10 M in the real samples, and a sensor technique for THI determination with high sensitivity, repeatability, and selectivity can be included in the literature.

Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensors have emerged as a powerful tool in biosensing applications due to their ability to provide sensitive and real-time detection of chemical and biological analytes. This review focuses on the development and application of molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP)-based SPR sensors for food analysis. By combining the high selectivity of molecular imprinting techniques with the sensitivity of SPR, these sensors offer significant advantages in detecting food contaminants and other target molecules. The article covers the basic principles of SPR, the role of MIPs in sensor specificity, recent advancements in this sensor development, and food applications. Furthermore, the potential for these sensors to contribute to food safety and quality control was explored, showcasing their adaptability to complex food matrices. The review concluded the future directions and challenges of SPR-MIP sensors in food analysis, emphasizing their promise in achieving high-throughput, cost-effective, and portable sensing solutions.
